Default RE: Fairings at the wing root

The cowl arrangement will add approximately 16 inches in side area to the fuselage, most of which is ahead of the stock COG. While I am fairly sure this will make the KE performance much better I am concerned this may affect spiral stability. Although adding more rudder area should negate this (I hope).
